Re-established in 2013, the Alberta Street Pub is a complete remodel of the old neighborhood Public House. The kitchen serves up an inspired and locally sourced menu to complement our craft cocktails and the 21 rotating draft beers. The Pub continues its tradition of friendly service with skilled bartenders, table service, a live music venue, and enormous heated patio. The venue side has been updated as well with a focus on acoustics and comfort. We offer one of the best listening environments in Portland with an intimate setting and a high quality sound system. Whether it’s bluegrass, jazz, folk, country, soul, or funk you’ll find something to love nearly every night of the week.

Little Hexes • Spiracles • $10 door / $8 advance

Little Hexes is music for your brain and ears, playing mischief with just about every rock genre. The band’s lyrical repertoire includes odes to a pissed-off Cleopatra, Marie Curie’s unfortunate love affair with Radium, Phineas Gage’s 1848 metamorphosis from all-around nice guy to womanizing lout via a metal spike through the head, and an every-boy’s-(or-girl’s)-fantasy tribute to the Swiss Miss Girl. Little hexes also delivers idiosyncratic mash ups that leave you with confounding earworms.

Spiricles is a newly emerging but vastly experienced Northwest-based alternative rock band, an offshoot of longtime Portland band the Unknown Soldiers. They began as a collaboration between guitarists Al Paschke and Sylvia Hackathorn, creating hard-edged but poetic songs carefully honed and passionately played. Paschke and Hackatorn are joined by rhythm guitarist and vocalist Beth Harrington (Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, Rick Berlin’s Awful Truth), drummer Clayton Silva (Clorox Girls, Sewers of Paris), bass player Arthur Beardsley (Pink TV, Rancho Notorious, Bonnie Bentley and the New Creatures,) and Shannon Zilka playing violin and keyboards (Shotgun Wedding, Worn Out Shoes).
